Hey Ri – Hitesh Sonik feat Harshdeep Kaur, Coke Studio @ MTV Season 2

Estimated read time 3 min read

The song talks about Meera’s unbreakable resolve to meet Lord Krishna. She is ready to even embrace death if that will help her soul unite with his. The angst of being away from her lover & the upheaval she feels is further enhanced through the rock feel of the song. Harshdeep’s sufi style singing helps perfectly bring out the pain, resolve & strength Meera had. It’s a devotional song presented in a contemporary style.

Song Synopsis:
Hey Ri, Hey Ri Hey Ri

Hey ri Main toh prem deewani
Hey ri Main toh prem deewani
Mero dard na jaane koye
Mero drad na jaane koye
Hey Ri
Hey ri Main toh prem deewani
Hey ri Main toh prem deewani

Suli upar sej humari,
Suli Upar sej humari,
Kis bidh sona hoye
Hey ri
Hey ri Main toh prem deewani
Hey ri Main toh prem deewani

Gagan Mandal pe sez piya ki
Kis bidh milna hoye
Gagan Mandal pe sez piya ki
Kis bidh milna hoye

Ghayal ki gati ghayal jane
Ki jin layi hoye

Gagan Mandal pe sez piya ki
Kis bidh milna hoye
Gagan Mandal pe sez piya ki
Kis bidh milna hoye

Johri ki gati Johri Jaane
Ki jin johar hoye

Gagan Mandal pe sez piya ki
Kis bidh milna hoye
Gagan Mandal pe sez piya ki
Kis bidh milna hoye

Dard ki maari, ban ban doloon
Doloon
Dard ki maari ban ban doloon
Baid mila nai koi
Baid mila nahi koi
Meera ki Prabhu, Peer mitegi
Jab baid sawaliya hoye
Baid sawaliya Hoye

Meaning:

This song is a deep spiritual expression of the longing of Meerabai (India’s one of the greatest poet
Saints and Krishna devotee), for Lord Krishna.

The Poet says that her madness for love of Krishna cannot be comprehended by anyone, as its tough
for earthly beings to accept the idea of divine love. She says that the ways of the world are very painful
and lack peace…hence it’s impossible to attain peace while being a part of this world. She craves for the
ultimate peace and union with god…mentions that it’s a long and an arduous journey to get to him.

She says that, just like only an injured can understand the pain of an injury, and a jeweler understands
the true value of his jewels, only the one suffering with this kind of longing, can understand her pain.
Meerabai says that her pain will only subside if the doctor i.e. Lord himself comes to heal her.
